Addressing the heat issues in the shed is a matter of urgency!

Powerful ventilation to expel heat from the attic! A ventilation system that significantly reduces radiant heat caused by trapped heat in the attic!

The "Kaze no Suke Series" is a ventilation system suitable for heat management in attics. When this product is installed, a temperature sensor automatically starts forced ventilation when the set temperature is reached, for example, when the attic temperature exceeds 30°C. During the summer, outside air will continuously flow into the attic, preventing the rise and stagnation of attic temperatures. As a result, the amount of radiant heat transmitted indoors will also decrease, which can lead to raising the air conditioner's set temperature or shortening its operating time. We recommend installation after the cool season, so we suggest considering the introduction of a ventilation system for the next heat management measures. 【Features】 ■ Powerful ventilation expels attic heat and significantly reduces radiant heat ■ Effective against winter condensation in attics *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Introducing the importance of "attic ventilation" along with a checklist!

Originally, Japanese houses were designed to suit the hot and humid climate, featuring an open structure that allowed for good ventilation. However, modern homes have pursued comfort, leading to increased airtightness and insulation, which has resulted in some adverse effects in recent years. If only one of the following items is checked, it does not mean you can relax. If any apply, it is a danger signal for your home. 【Let's check together】 ■ It’s cool outside, but the room is stuffy ■ Air conditioning is not effective ■ Many uncomfortable nights ■ Mold has appeared on the ceiling or in the closet ■ The room smells musty ■ Eyes feel irritated ■ Children often cough ■ Condensation has appeared in the attic *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The reduction rate is approximately 15% to 23%! We confirmed energy-saving effects by ventilating the attic.

This experiment examines the "effect of indoor air conditioning electricity consumption." By ventilating the attic, the reduction rate of electricity consumption during air conditioning operation on sunny days was approximately 15% to 23% (*), confirming energy-saving effects. Additionally, a temperature comparison between the attic, indoors, and the human body using a thermotracer showed that with a ventilation system, the temperature of wooden parts such as beams and the ceiling in the attic was lower, and the temperature difference indoors was reduced by height. *Varies depending on conditions and the capacity/efficiency of the air conditioner Air conditioning operation time: 16:00 to 22:00 for 6 hours [Results of the indoor air conditioning electricity consumption effect experiment] ■ The reduction rate of electricity consumption during air conditioning operation was approximately 15% to 23% (on sunny days) ■ Energy-saving effects were confirmed *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The future of wind and housing! A discussion on the current state of attics in Japanese homes.

In this discussion, we explain the measures against humidity and condensation in attics, as well as the importance of ventilation. Our company launched the underfloor ventilation system in 1981, and two years later, we introduced the attic ventilation system. Since then, after several model changes, it has now become a standard specification for new constructions in some cases. However, through many years of promotional activities, there is an impression that attic ventilation is perceived by both businesses and end users solely as a measure against heat. *For detailed content of the discussion, you can view the PDF materials or related links.

Measures against condensation in summer! Condensation and corrosion within wall structures are often difficult to detect.

In 2020, the "mandatory energy-saving standards for housing" are scheduled to be implemented, and it is expected that Japanese homes will increasingly aim for high airtightness and high insulation. However, at the same time, measures against condensation during the summer must be considered. In a site where glass wool was filled using the 2x4 construction method and a vapor barrier was installed on the interior side, significant corrosion due to condensation occurred. It is believed that the interior became hot and humid, leading to condensation as it was cooled by the air conditioner on the inside. The hold-down hardware also showed white mold, and if corrosion progresses like this, it will pose problems for the durability of the building. This type of summer condensation particularly occurs in regions with high temperatures and humidity, like Japan. Therefore, it is necessary to implement sufficient measures against winter condensation while simultaneously preventing summer condensation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A."

The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Stable adhesion to rough and uneven surfaces such as stone, sheet metal, textured glass, and wood. Piab's "PX Suction Cup Series" is designed for handling rough surfaces, patterned surfaces, and uneven workpieces that are difficult to hold with standard flat suction cups. The high-conformity EPDM sealing ring adapts to the irregularities and shapes of the work surface, while the rigid aluminum support plate and internal support pad provide a stable grip. The internal support pad helps stabilize thin sheets and delicate workpieces while minimizing suction marks. It is suitable for demanding industrial applications involving stone, metal, glass, and wood. Additionally, a cone valve integrated version is also available. By preventing leaks from suction cups that do not contact the workpiece, it enhances safety during transport while reducing air consumption. This is also effective for energy-saving measures in large-area grippers that use multiple suction cups.
